Planet of the Frohikes is probably my favorite episode of the rewatch of The Lone Gunmen (I haven’t seen most of them since the series aired, and DVD set came out). Written by Vince Gilligan, this episode first debuted on 6 April, 2001. The guys receive an email from asking for help to be freed…

Laurence Heath sends the boys of the IMF team on a personal mission with his script for The Condemned which first aired on 28 January, 1968, and is the first assignment this week as I delve into another two episodes of Paramount Pictures’ Mission: Impossible – The Complete Series on blu-ray.

The Green Mile (1999) – Frank Darabont
Unless you watch it on a fairly regular basis, you tend to forget how beautiful The Green Mile is as a film. It’s been a long time since I sat down to watch this one, so I was glad that it showed up on the What Else to Watch list in DK Canada’s The Movie…

Porn, crime, tailgating, doppelgangers, murder, transmigration of the soul, and time travel all seem to play some part in the next title on the What Else to Watch list in DK Canada’s The Movie Book following my screening of Blue Velvet.

The Night of the Hunter (1955) – Charles Laughton
The Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book brings me back to the Thriller genre, with this classic starring Robert Mitchum as twisted evangelist Harry Powell, a man not afraid to commit evil in the name of the lord. He has just served time for a car theft, and had met a prisoner,…
The Killing – S3 Premiere The Jungle and That You Fear The Most
I have to admit, as gutted as I was when The Killing was cancelled after a brilliant and heart-breaking second season, I actually never thought that the day would come when I could see Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) and Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) back on my screen. I am ecstatic to have been wrong…
